[Pendant Match] Ladder: Mayu Vs. Nikolette

Nikolette flew through the air, thinking there was no way her leg drop wouldn't ring true. But Mayu was surprisingly quick and rolled out of the way, just in time to completley miss and slam her butt into the mat. She let out a groan of pain as she turned her arm backwards and rubbed her behind.

While she was rubbing her butt, Mayu was on her. The short haired girl had a hold of her other arm and put it into an armbar. Nikolette's eyes widened and she let out a painful yelp. "G-Gahh!" She said banging her hand against the mat. "Y-you can't win by submission!" She yelled out, knowing that Nikolette couldn't just tap out. She probably would have if she could have, but if Mayu was doing it just to inflict pain, se might cause serious damage if she tightened the lock.

"I know!" Mayu replied to Nikolette's words with a faint smile on her face. "But I can't bring the ladder and climb it just like that, can I?"

Seeing the mechanic banging her hand on the mat tempted the short haired girl to let her arm go, since it looked like Nikolette was in some serious pain. Mayu would hold her armbar for a few more seconds without adding more pressure before she would let her opponent's arm go and rolled aside. She would glance at Nikolette for a while before getting up on her feet. Mayu was hoping that she didn't cause the girl's arm a serious injury or something, as it was never her intention to do so.

Thinking that her opponent would probably need some time to recover from her move, Mayu would slip herself out of the ring to grab a ladder that was lying on the floor and bring it inside by slipping it between the lower ropes and the mat. The short haired girl would then get back in the ring so she could try setting the ladder under the briefcase.

Despite the wrenching pain in her arm, Nikolette couldn't help but force a smile. "No.. ya couldn't..." When Mayu finally let go, Nikolette rolled onto her hands and knees. Her forehead planted into the mat and she clutched her arm. She thought about hobbling after Mayu but she knew better. Mayu could probably pick her apart and even still, the mechanic knew that it was wise to let Mayu do the dirty work of retrieving the ladder and bringing it into the ring. With that thought in mind, she rested upon her laurels and shifted her body just enough so she could watch Mayu out of the corner of her eye while she rubbed her inflamed elbow.

Mayu noticed that Nikolette was still rubbing her arm when she got back on the ring. She felt a little bad inside, but quickly reminded herself that this was a match. The short haired girl was just experiencing some hard beatings herself on her last match against Akane so she shouldn't really take pity on the mechanic, even if Nikolette was her first friend here in AFW...

Mayu would start steadying the ladder under the briefcase and glanced at Nikolette's direction to keep an eye of her opponent. Once the ladder was set, the short haired girl would start climbing it carefully, while still looking at the mechanic. She knew that Nikolette was a strong and tough girl from their first meeting, and it'd be unwise for Mayu to underestimate the girl even if she managed to do some damage to her arm.

Nikolette waited like a cat in the grass, trying to play up her injury as much as she could. It still hurt quite a lot, but Nikolette had soothed it a bit. She watched as she Mayu set up the ladder, seeing the short haired girl watching her as well. Nikolette waited until Mayu was about half way up the ladder and pushed off with her free hand. She charged at the ladder and when she was close, threw her body forward and tried to drop kick the ladder and knock Mayu off of it.

Mayu was expecting Nikolette to make her move anytime soon, but the mechanic seemed like she's still too hurt to move. That's it until she reached halfway of the ladder, as Mayu heard the thumping sounds that seemed to be heading in her direction and she would quickly glance at the mechanic's direction. Her eyes widened as by the time she noticed it, Nikolette was already in the air, with her boots aimed straight at the ladder as the girl attempting a drop kick to knock both Mayu and the ladder's off.

"Uwaaahh?!" Mayu yelped before she jumped at the last minute from the ladder and watched midair as Nikolette's kick sent the ladder flying to the edge of the ring. Both Mayu's slender body and the ladder dropped to the mat almost on the same time, with the short haired girl landing on her right side.

"Gaah!" she let out as her sides hit the mat and rolled aside a little, wrapping one arm around her hurt side while grimacing on top of the canvas. "Uuu..."

Nikoette bounced off the mat as she hit the drop kick and landed in a crouched position. She looked at Mayu and saw where she had been felled. She had to wear the girl down, just like Mayu had done with her, but it would be hard to use her arms for a good lock so she moved towards Mayu and grabbed for Mayu's leg, trying to pull her enough to keep her away from the ropes. If she could get hold of Mayu's leg, she would try and pull Mayu into a figure four leg lock and really put some pressure on the slender girl's legs.

Mayu was still a bit dazed to resist as she felt her leg grabbed and her body dragged by Nikolette. By the time she realized it, the mechanic already lock her leg in a figure four position and even if she wanted to kick out, it was too late.

"Aaaghh!" she screamed as her leg was pressed by Nikolette's strong legs. "N-not my legs!"

The short haired girl frantically banging her hands on the mat as she endured the lock to her best of abilities. Her legs was one of her stronger parts, but that's all the more reason to keep them unharmed as much as possible. Realizing that squirming around might not helped her that much, Mayu would try to raise herself a bit so she could reach for Nikolette's ankle and gave it a hard squeeze before she would try to pry one of the mechanic's legs off her own legs.

once Nikolette locked int he hold, she fell onto her back and tried to arch her hips to put even more pressure on Mayu's legs. She knew of course to clip a speedster that taking their legs outfrom under them was the best play. "Sorry, Mayu." Nikolette called out. "But I gotta. I gotta soften ya up!" She said as she felt Mayu try and grab at her ankle. Nikolette put all her effort into a straining Mayu's legs as tight and painfully as possible for one last sharp second before she released and tried to roll away.

She wanted to get away from Mayu enough so she wouldn't be caught in Mayu's struggling but she wasn't done with the short haired girl. She swung back towards the girl and tried to grab her roughly by her short hair while the girl was, hopefully, still recovering from the painful lock and toss her out of the ring by her silky short hair.

"AAaahhhh!!" Mayu's scream was more than audible as Nikolette really squeezed her legs, making her eyes a bit watery as she arched her back.

Fortunately, her torture didn't last as long as she feared as the mechanic eventually let her legs go. Mayu's slender body was shaking a bit as she tried to reach for her legs to soothe them, but apparently her opponent wasn't done with her. Feeling her hair grabbed by Nikolette, Mayu let out a soft gasp as she winced a bit. Not wanting to know what the mechanic was planning to do with her the hard way, Mayu immediately try to grab Nikolette's wrist and forearm with her hands, gritting her teeth to endure the pain in her legs.

She would try to cling onto the girl with all her might, while squeezing the mechanic's wrist as much as she could, hoping that the mechanic would let her go. Even if her legs were quite in a wreck, her arms were at least still fine, or so it seemed.
